Nervi Vigneto Molsino Gattinara DOCG 1998

Sight: Surprisingly deep red core, slight browning at the rim. Looks young and lively.

Nose: Very characteristic nebbiolo nose, deep fruit with mineral hints and higher, sweeter fruity/floral aromas. Beautiful varietal expression.

Taste: Savory flavor with marked acidity and dry tannins. Pleasant if a bit austere.

Overall impression: I think this wine could go another 8 years in the bottle and be the better for it. Almost no hints of age are evident in the aroma.
